It’s not a get-out-of-jail-free card, but it should mean that no one should expect someone in their early adulthood to have a full formed identity or for the decisions they made at 20 to be all that reflective of who they are at 30. It’s just a fact that up until your early 20s you’re biologically impaired when it…

Its called growth and we love to see it!

“And for those who are defending her on the basis of her youth, some of us were at our apex of passionate political idealism at 22 or 18 or even 16. People tend to become more conservative with age not the reverse.”

I think people need to rethink how they react to news such as this, and not just from celebrities but also from people in your own life that are late to the party but have changed or are looking to change their ways: mocking them or chastising them for not realizing this earlier will only risk pushing them back to…

Then I doubt you were raised in a conservative household surronded by conservatives. Again, people that age don’t form their own olitical opinions until they become educated on the topics. And that typically starts happening in their late teens and early twenties and helps people at different places. They learn these…

Jennifer Lawrence was also 18 years old from a conservative family in a hard red conservative state.

I’m a 44 years old liberal, but my political awareness at 18, raised in a catholic conservative region was quite limited and I’d like to think my understanding of the world has considerably improved since then.

You’re complaining about her not voting for Barrack. That was 12 years ago. She was 20. It’s extremely common for a 20 year old to vote the same as their parents. That’s not old to drink, not old enough to have graduated from a 4 year college, not old enough to rent a car, etc. She’d had the vote for 2 years at that…

The vast majority of people that age vote what their parents voted. And then develop their own political identities a bit later when they get exposed to the real world and learn more about it. It’s great that you were ahead of the curve, but let’s not go condemning young people who are still being educated for…

I grew up in a democratic household. I didn’t think about it much more than D=good, R=bad. I have cousins that grew up with R parents that put about as much thought about into it as I did, but in the opposite direction. Then I went to college, read some stuff, did some thinking, etc.

Person Admits She Was Dumb At Age 18, Setting Great Example For Vast Number Of Fans, Becomes Villain

So?

Oh, dear, now we’re supposed to hate Jennifer Lawrence? I thought Jezebel was all in on her for awhile there—maybe that was a previous crop of writers? Office pool on when this site turns on Cardi B!

True, but she is 30. She would have been 22 when Romney tried to get into the White House, which means between being a typical self-absorbed twenty something year old PLUS having been raised by Republicans, she likely wasn’t even thinking much about politics.

It was an interview on a podcast not a press release.

But research from the last two decades has shown that the woman believed to be Cleopatra’s mother was African, which would make it only right that she be portrayed by a mixed-race actress, according to some.

Oh, this one really creeped me out. Sounds like a demon.

I’ve watched the movie. It’s not porn. It’s about how from the time we’re born, we’re turned into women, whether sexually or through cultural practices (like helping prepare a wedding feast). The conduit is dance and this girl’s desire to be like other girls who dance, and like girls who dance in music videos (but…

Before the summer I was 11, the age of the girls in the movie, I developed. That summer, I was groomed by neighborhood boys 15 and 16 years old. Due to my complete lack of experience and the general sexualization of women (and this was the 80s!), I didn’t realize what was taking place until years later. Having watched…

Have these people never seen Dance Moms...?

Agreed. Clinton has been a personal hero of mine since I was in middle school. She’s vastly underrated, and even the most liberal of millennials have been listening to the right's terrible lies about her all their lives, and have developed a weird, instinctive dislike of her. It's really unfair.
